IaaS Resources in Azure

B

An Azure virtual machine is an example of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

Azure web app, Azure logic app and Azure SQL database are all examples of Platform as a Service (Paas).

Out of the four options provided, the resource that is an example of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in Azure is an Azure virtual machine (VM) - option B.

IaaS is a cloud computing model where the cloud provider offers virtualized computing resources over the internet, such as servers, storage, and networking, as a service. In this model, the customer is responsible for managing the operating system, applications, and data.

An Azure virtual machine is a computing resource that enables the creation and management of a virtual machine instance in the Azure cloud. It is a fully customizable environment where the customer can install and run any software or application of their choice, including the operating system, databases, and web servers. The customer has complete control over the virtual machine instance and can configure it according to their specific needs.

Option A, an Azure web app, is an example of Platform as a Service (PaaS), where the cloud provider manages the infrastructure and operating system, and the customer only needs to focus on their application code.

Option C, an Azure logic app, is an example of a serverless computing model, where the cloud provider manages the infrastructure and the customer only needs to focus on the logic of their application.

Option D, an Azure SQL database, is an example of Database as a Service (DBaaS), where the cloud provider manages the database infrastructure, and the customer only needs to focus on managing the data and the database schema.

Therefore, the correct answer to the given question is option B - an Azure virtual machine is an example of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in Azure.

The solution proposed to encrypt administrative credentials during server deployment to Azure is to use Azure Information Protection (AIP).

AIP is a cloud-based solution from Azure that helps to classify, label, and protect data and documents. It provides encryption and rights management capabilities to secure sensitive information and prevent unauthorized access.

In the context of the given scenario, AIP can be used to encrypt administrative credentials during the deployment process to Azure. This ensures that the credentials are protected from unauthorized access and can only be accessed by authorized individuals with the appropriate permissions.

Therefore, the solution of using Azure Information Protection (AIP) to encrypt administrative credentials during server deployment to Azure meets the goal of ensuring that the credentials are encrypted using a suitable Azure solution.

Hence, the answer is A. Yes, the solution meets the goal.
